BAGHDAD - Iraq's leader, President Saddam Hussein, assailed the United States over a House of Representatives vote reaffirming an earlier commitment to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem by 1999, Baghdad radio reported yesterday. "The timing and nature of this decision proves America regards those who believe it is playing a balanced role in the ArabZionist dispute as nothing but zeros when it comes to Zionist weight," he was quoted as saying during a cabinet meeting.
